No Diva's Here
This isn’t the post I intended to publish. My original post was a list of do’s and don’ts for fundraising event organizers. Maybe I’ve attended too many events.

Spring fundraising event season is here. From all of the numerous events and invitations, how should you decide which events to attend and which to decline?
Yes to the 3-Day Walk?
